Nissan has given the Murano's safety game a boost for 2021 by making its previously optional suite of driver-assistance features standard across the range. Called Safety Shield 360, this package of features includes automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beams, among others. Gone is the SV Premium package and in its place Nissan will offer the Special Edition package, which includes a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree exterior camera system, faux-leather upholstery, heated front seats, and 20-inch wheels.
PROS Bold styling, well-appointed interior, lots of standard driver-assistance tech.
CONS Blasé driving dynamics, CVT is unrefined, low towing capacity.
The 2021 Nissan Murano’s windswept shape still looks good and safety is strong, but it’s showing its age.
PROS Unique style Comfy front seats Plush ride Lots of active safety gear
CONS So-so cargo capacity Interior and tech show their age Surprisingly thirsty Not as well-equipped as some rivals
